What it is
It is a conference.
What the type sets

It calls its people and things papers, manuscripts, authors and reviewers, and the event a conference.

It switches on:

  • Schedule and checkpoints
  • Tracks, prizes and problems
  • Certificates

The type, its words and its features can be changed in Programme Settings while the programme is a draft.

Who it is for
Academic and industry conferences, from the call for papers to the public programme.
The words it uses
EntrypaperSubmissionmanuscriptParticipantauthorEvaluatorreviewerEventconference
How it is judged

  1. Authors

    Authors follow their paper from any phone

    Authors submit with an anonymity check, then see the decision and the reviews, signed Reviewer 1, 2 and 3.

    An author's papers page on a phone: an accepted paper, its checked PDF and three reviews signed Reviewer 1, 2 and 3
    An author's papers on a phone: the decision, the checked PDF and the reviews.
  2. Double-blind review

    Review that stays double-blind

    Reviewers see a masked PDF beside the form. Authors never learn who reviewed their paper.

    • No author names, affiliations or original file names in a double-blind round
    • Affiliation, institution, author and ORCID answers stay hidden
    • Five criteria, each scored out of 10, with an overall recommendation
    A reviewer's double-blind review: the masked manuscript beside the review form, scored out of 10 on originality, technical soundness, evaluation, clarity and relevance
    A reviewer's view: the masked manuscript beside the review form.
  3. Decisions

    Decide with author names hidden

    Reviews, average and spread for every paper, author names hidden. Record each decision and send the letters.

    The programme chair's Decisions page: papers with reviews, average and spread, author names hidden, and a decision for each
    Decisions with author names hidden: reviews, average and spread for every paper.
  4. Sessions

    Build the sessions and the schedule

    Rooms run across and time slots down. Place accepted papers into sessions, add the keynotes and name a chair for each session, then publish the programme.

    Sessions and schedule: halls across and time slots down, with keynotes, sessions, their chairs and papers not yet placed
    Sessions and schedule: rooms across, time slots down, a chair for every session.
  5. Speakers

    Keynotes and presenting authors in one list

    Invite keynote speakers and see every presenting author's profile at a glance.

    The Speakers page: keynote speakers with their talks, and presenting authors with their papers and profile status
    Keynote speakers and presenting authors, with each profile's status.
  6. Public programme

    A public programme attendees open on their phones

    Publish a public page for the conference with its tracks and each day's sessions, rooms, chairs and keynotes, laid out for a phone as well as a large screen.

    The public conference page: tracks, then each day's keynotes and sessions with their rooms and chairs
    The public programme: the tracks, then each day's sessions.

Questions About Conferences

Reviewers see each paper's number, title, abstract and a masked PDF. Author names, affiliations and the original file names are not shown, and affiliation, institution, author and ORCID answers stay hidden. Authors never learn who reviewed their paper, and reviews reach them signed Reviewer 1, 2 and 3.
Nobody, by default. Author names are hidden on the Decisions page so decisions rest on the reviews; a chair can show them, and doing so is recorded in the audit log.
A presenting author becomes a speaker once the paper is accepted and the decision letter has gone out. Until then no author is listed anywhere a reviewer can reach.
